The Fun of Shooting Food

Well, I feel I have to kind of apologize for not having more frequent entries into my blog. Truth be known, I’m finding that I’d rather spend my time shooting then blogging. I suppose there’s probably a balance. But for now, I’m going to lean toward shooting and let the blogging take second chair.

This is a shot I began yesterday and completed today. I’m certainly enjoying what I do and only hope for more of it. Maybe then I’ll have more reason to blog.

Look for more soon.

Food Revamp …

Well, I’m in the process of revamping my site … one section at a time. I’ve just completed the food photography section. While many of the images are the same as the previous version you will notice I’ve increased the sizes … the bigger the image the better. I’ve also changed the groupings to be more reflective of the job/project.

Food Photography

Stay tuned as I work through the remaining sections (and possibly a new section) over the coming weeks.

Day Seventeen - Photo a Day

Today was a fun one. I shot a number of specialty desserts for Aux Choux, a dessert café in Franklin, TN. Crystal is a fine dessert maker and super to work with. Here is one of the many fun shots from the shoot.

Look for more shots from this shoot in a later blog post.

Day Sixteen - Photo a Day

Today I was on assignment for a cookbook. This is one shot that stands out as I’m only midway through first edits.

The secret ingredient.

Day Fifteen - Photo a Day

Please excuse the “butt” in this photo.

Day Thirteen - Photo a Day

Can the common look scrumptious? I guess that’s pretty subjective, just like taste buds.

What will tomorrow bring? Hopefully more food.

Day Eleven - Photo a Day

Shooting more food. I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing … other than devouring it.

Day Nine - Photo a Day

In most food shoots you don’t get to eat the subject as it’s been manipulated with foreign objects to the point that one bite would send you to the ER. But, in this case, I was fortunate to be able to eat to my hearts content, and WOW was it awesome!

Cookie Monster

There’s nothing like ending a photo shoot and getting to eat the props. Brooke Trusley is currently in the process of starting a bakery here in Franklin, Tennessee. I sure love shooting (and eating) food.

What next? I plan on getting on the short list for her R&D. This recipe gets a thumbs up from me!
